We are HIP
The Humber Internships Programme (HIP) matches the needs of Humber based SMEs with the skills and talent of students and graduates – a match made in the Humber.
Whether you’re an intern, SME or a training provider HIP can help to match ambitious Humber businesses with the best talent in the region.
We’re here to help SMEs grow…
If you’re a small business based in the Humber, and have aspirations to grow, a HIP Intern might be the perfect fit. The HIP team will work alongside you to understand your needs and help identify the right intern.
A subsidised 12 week internship will provide you with access to real talent and the programme can be tailored to meet your needs.
And, new talent thrive.
If you’re about to graduate in 2022, or if you graduated in 2020 or 2021 and are still looking for your way into your dream job, the HIP programme might be the perfect way forward.
The team will work with you to understand your skills and aspirations and to match you to internship opportunities. You’ll feel ready for the challenge with continuous support and guidance before you start an internship, ongoing through the 12-weeks and beyond.
Can we support each other?
If you’re supporting students at Level 5 or above who might benefit from industrial experience, or are looking for a creative way to support your graduating students to progress their career then the HIP team may be able to help.
